  1. The bus has a button for Scotch Whisky Mode for those times when the Scottish driver has sodded a couple off and gets totally sh__faced.

  2. Only until something fails and it cause a crash

  3. Great another job gone! And you think if you send that bus down town to Detroit or Chicago it’s coming back 😂 I see some future drug smugglers loving these they just stash their stuff and another guy picks it up nobody to charge for hauling it to point a to b! I’m sure in some places it can work but others it want! Where I live that bus got no chance neither does a self driving car! Even the Google car didn’t make it out here! 😂

  4. How long before there is the first self-driving tavern on wheels?

  5. Wait until it runs over a pedestrian.
    This will never work.

  6. Now you can have a whole bus pave through a bunch of schoolchildren for free!

  7. Eventually huh, all leisure no service.

  8. Good bye bus driving jobs

  9. Hello spit hairdo! You look gorgeous 😬

  10. Wouldn't it make more sense just to turn the safety driver into a regular driver? What a joke.

  11. California made a law that by the year 2025 all public transportation buses have to be running on hydrogen fuel and that conversion of gas to hydrogen will cost $8B for California.

  12. The sun gets in the way, sharp hard turn & off the bridge🫣

  13. I was reading an article that when cars rolled out in 1890s they first rolled out in France or England because people were more reluctant the tryout vehicles and then after people road vehicles then it came to America which takes me back to to this subject can you imagine the Uproar it would have if it came out in America first

  14. Am I the only one that read this wrong?

  15. Is this needed? NO

  16. Yeah I don't see how this could go wrong!!🤣🤣🤣

  17. SURE like electronics never crap out. LOL

  18. Removing "human error" because mechanical errors are so much better. lol

  19. they needed captions? lol

  20. NEVER will I ride on a non-driver vehicle. Not gonna happen.

  21. OK that’s all fine but what happens if it’s a cyber attack and systems go off-line?
    At least with a real drive on board you’re not relying upon technology to get your passengers from A to B…
    … And cyber attacks are a real thing

  22. Machines keep learning to identify more obstacles and the supply chain problems can be solved in the future

  23. perfect bus for suicidal peoples.

  24. How long will it take the bus to figure out that everyone drives on the wrong side of the road over there?

  25. Yes, if we could just eliminate people from cities, autonomous vehicles would work. Sort of the tail wagging the dog, no?

  26. I love this. No more silly drivers and their health and emotional issues. Can't wait to go to Scotland and try it out.

  27. Wait until everything is AI and NOBODY is paying taxes. Way to go idiots.😅😂

  28. I don’t see anything that can go wrong here.

  29. Robot bus locks passengers inside and drives off the bluffs into the ocean in an unprecedented server glitch.

  30. Hit and run by the robot car lol.

  31. No thank you, I wouldn’t get on a vehicle without a driver in control. This is going too far.

  32. Now I know what will come for me when I insult ChatGPT

  33. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! ❤ Praise the Lord 🙌
